The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no references about the movie, an article, or a link to the movie, we can help you by commenting based on our knowledge of the topic.

Wendell Smith had such a personal stake in the success of Jackie Robinson because he covered and supported his career from the very beginning.

Wendell Smith had chosen three African American players to participate in a tryout for the Boston Red Sox. One of them was Jackie Robison, who, at that time, played for the Kansas City Monarchs. He was a shortstop.

For whatever reasons that try-out was canceled, but at that moment Smith received a call from Branch Ricky, the General Manager of the Brooklin Dodgers, and that is when Smith talk to Rickey about the quality of Robinson as a baseball player.

The father of William Penn was a Quaker and a charter was granted to William Penn by the crown of England to name a colony after his father. Pennsylvania is now just 14 miles away in the south of Philadelphia. This is the main reason why it is correct to feel that Pennsylvania is the place to practice Quaker religious beliefs for any person.
